Update: If your device is running Android 2.1 and suffered problems with the Facebook for Android v1.7 update, there’s a new update to fix those issues (v.1.7.1)

We’ve been sitting on an increasingly outdated Facebook app when compared with our iPhone counterparts, but it seems that Facebook has decided to push out a decent update that brings a lot of improvements and can now be downloaded on Honeycomb tablets.

What did Facebook put in this update?

Made it easier to share with who you want

Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site

Added the ability to tag friends and places in posts

Added new design for Profile and Group Walls

Fixes and tweaks:

Improved photo browsing with swiping

Added the ability to tag your friends in photos

Improved Messages and Notifications

Fixed a number of crashes and performance issues

This is a great update with the biggest additions being able to tag people in photos and its support for Honeycomb tablets, although it’s just an enlarged version of the phone app.

So jump in the Market now and download the update.

Update: I’ve been informed that Facebook was previously available for download on some Honeycomb tablets.
